Northwestern Wildcat football


  

  
NU OUTLASTS INDIANA
41-37


The streak is over: Northwestern has notched a Big Ten victory, its first of the year and the first after ten unsuccessful tries.  The Wildcats weathered self-inflicted wounds and a fourth quarter Hoosier comeback to defeat Indiana 41 to 37 at Ryan Field.   Brett Basanez reclaimed NU's offense, three weeks after breaking his leg against Minnesota. The star of the Indiana game was Jason Wright, who-- to appropriate a Randy Walker quote-- keeps filling his barrel with butcher knives and rolling it with abandon.
